I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms offered beautiful views and were spacious but lacked a bigger bed as desired. The fireplace added a cozy touch, but the location being far from Inverness made getting around a bit tricky.

The surroundings were lovely, great for hikes, but being far from the city center could be inconvenient. The dining experience was pleasant with hot selections made to order but lacked some standout signature dishes. The facilities were decent, offering necessary amenities.
